(National Sentinel) Illegal Immigration: Now that America has a president committed to enforcing immigration laws, thousands of people illegally in the U.S. are now jumping the Canadian border, which is causing no small amount of angst to our northern neighbor who once chastised us for treating our illegal immigrants in a “mean” and “bigoted” manner.

My, how attitudes change when the situation changes; now that Canada has an illegal immigration problem, their far-Left darling of a prime minister, Justin Trudeau, has issued a warning: Jumping the northern border illegally won’t speed up the asylum-seeking process.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a message for asylum seekers: crossing illegally into the country doesn’t offer an advantage when it comes to obtaining refugee status in Canada.

“If I could directly speak to people seeking asylum, I’d like to remind them there’s no advantage,” Trudeau said at a news conference Sunday in Montreal. “Our rules, our principles and our laws apply to everyone.”

In the first two weeks of August, more than 3,800 people walked over the border into the province, compared to the 2,996 who crossed throughout all of July.

He said the government is managing the unprecedented flow of predominantly Haitian asylum seekers and that all of them will be subjected to the usual security checks and evaluations before obtaining refugee status in Canada.

Unlike in the United States, Haitians have no special status in Canada. About half of Haitians seeking refugee status in Canada have been denied in the last couple of years.

Wait, what? Denied?

Are Canadians…[gulp!]…racists?

Generally speaking, no; Canadians are pretty tolerant (as are most Americans, contrary to how we’re portrayed to the world by our own disgustingly dishonest “mainstream” media). But like Americans, they too expect non-citizens to obey their laws when it comes to immigration, seeking refugee status and so forth.

Like Americans, Canadians don’t just want anyone and everyone sneaking into their country; like us, they want to know who’s coming in, why, and whether or not they are going to be a problem.

“They knew it was going to be a problem this summer. And their response has been building tent cities on the U.S./Canada border,” immigration critic Michelle Rempel told CBC News.

Obama essentially did the same thing during his final term, when he unconstitutionally changed immigration law via executive order to instruct border security officials to stop focusing on younger illegal aliens; they flowed into the U.S. by the tens of thousands.

Countries have a right to set rules pertaining to who gets in and who doesn’t. It’s called “sovereignty.”
